Ignat Solzhenitsyn returned to his roots last Saturday, performing a masterful solo piano recital at the Brattleboro Music Center in honor of his beginnings… Solzhenitsyn proved a master pianist and musician of depth in his recital at the BMC’s new concert hall, in works of Franz Schubert and Dmitri Shostakovich.
